Iscar 5504537 Cnmg 431-TF IC507 Turning Insert 1/2 in Ic

Product Description

The ISCAR 5504537 is a CNMG 431-TF solid carbide turning insert in the Isoturn series, designed for precision external turning operations on CNC and manual lathes. This insert features a PVD-applied TiCN and TiN coating over a solid carbide substrate, providing heat resistance and wear protection across a range of workpiece materials. The diamond-shaped cutting geometry delivers an 80-degree included angle with a positive rake and a 1/64 inch (0.0157 inch) corner radius. The TF chip breaker geometry controls chip flow efficiently during finishing and light roughing passes. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals install this insert in compatible CNMG-style toolholders using clamp or pin holding methods.

The 5504537 is suited for turning operations on stainless steel, carbon and alloy steel, high-temperature alloys, and other ISO P, M, and S material classifications. With a maximum depth of cut of 4.00 mm (0.1575 inches), it is well matched to medium finishing and semi-finishing applications. The Isoturn series is commonly used in production turning environments where consistent surface finish and insert-to-insert dimensional repeatability are required. This insert is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 10 units per order.

• Clamp and pin holding compatibility for secure seating in CNMG toolholders
• Maximum depth of cut: 4.00 mm (0.1575 inches)

Compatibility

Designed for use in CNMG-style turning toolholders that accept 431 insert size geometry. Compatible with ISO P, M, and S workpiece material classifications including carbon steel, alloy steel, stainless steel, and high-temperature alloys. Conforms to ISO 13399 insert specification standards.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or CNC setup technicians. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before indexing or replacing inserts. Use the appropriate torque wrench and clamp hardware specified by the toolholder manufacturer — do not overtighten or substitute fasteners. Inspect the insert seat and pocket for chips or debris before seating the insert to ensure proper contact and repeatability.
